Developed by a community of more than 3,500 contributors, Ansible is an open source, radically simple IT automation platform that makes your applications and systems easier to deploy and manage. In this session, we'll provide an overview of Ansible and discuss many of its use cases, including examples from the traditional to the unorthodox, as well as overviews of both AWX and the universe of shared content in Ansible Galaxy. Finally, we’ll discuss how the simplicity of Ansible’s design and usage, and the architectural decisions made with the goal of simplicity at the beginning stages of the project’s evolution, have enabled the project to become one of the most active open source communities in the world.
